Mobile Cloud Services and Their Dreams

As I have noted in my early blog about Future Mobile Technology, there are many hints about kind of research found that annual revenues from cloud-based mobile applications will reach nearly $9.5 billion by 2014 (again we can see these numbers from many expert in the internet), fuelled by the need for converged, collaborative services, the widespread adoption of mobile broadband services and the deployment of key technological enablers. These reports found that enterprise applications will account for the majority of revenues over the next five years, with businesses increasingly seeking to capitalize on the ability of "Platform as a Service" (PaaS) providers to offer scalable, flexible data storage solutions allied to device agnostic, synchronized office services (re. Microsoft and HP).

However, consumer-oriented services will comprise an ever-larger proportion of total revenues, derived both from time-based subscriptions to services such as mobile online gaming and advertising from cloud-based social networks, that terminology being buzzed from early days as well as around 2-3 years ago. And, the mobile cloud services report warned that many enterprise customers still remained wary of entrusting their personal data to remote third-parties.

I found other findings from Juniper report, and herewith as what they said:
* While the onset of a cloud-based ecosystem may further erode the strength of the mobile operator/customer relationship, cloud offers operators the opportunity to develop new revenues streams as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and PaaS providers.
* Lack of network capacity may continue to be a constraint on the growth of network-based services even after LTE and WiMAX networks are deployed.

My conclusion, how to make money for the emerging countries?
